MAPLE LEMON PORK TENDERLOIN for Super Sunday

“If you can get your hands on it, there is really nothing like fresh maple syrup. Maple goes with pork like American football goes with a good beer. Add some acidity from the fresh lemon combined with some herbaceous thyme, some garlic and Dijon mustard, and you have as good of a marinating recipe for gameday as has ever been had. Truly enjoy this “make-ahead” recipe. It’s been the featured dish @ The Pro Football Hall of FameHall of Fame and College Football .

Recipe is for each piece of Pork Tenderloin – approx. 1.25 to 1.5 Lbs.Preparation Day Before:

(Note: Top up your marinade as you see fit. It makes a great finishing sauce)

Gameday:

Remove tenderloin(s) from bag to a clean cutting board 1 hr. before grilling.

Heat your Grill to 350 degrees

Pour marinade from the bag into a medium size pot, bring to a boil for 2 min., cover & keep at low temperature

Grill Tenderloin to medium (150 degrees F, 66 degrees C), & while grilling, coat tenderloin with small portions of maple lemon marinade (The tenderloin can get a little charred, as the maple syrup will caramelize. So feel free to remove and cook off-heat until you reach preferred temperature)

When cooked to temperature, take meat from Grill to a cutting board, cover with tin foil and let rest for 5 minutes

Directions:Wet your cutting board and place as many squares as you can . place ground beef into the center of each square just enough to allow for the toppings. Add your topping and then pinch corner to opposite corner until you have four corners and all seams are sealed. Reserve and place into a deep fryer on high for 45 seconds or until golden brown.

The Hail Mary2 oz. Stolichnaya Vodka5 oz. tomato juice¼ oz. pickle juice8 dashes of Worcestershire sauce6 dashes of Tabasco Chipotle sauce2 dashes of Tony Chacheres Cajun SpiceSquirt of fresh lemon juiceMix all ingredients into a shaker half full of ice and pour into a glass.The secret to this cocktail is making sure you shake it all up very well and pour everything into the glass. Do not rim your glass for one simple reason, if you rim your glass the only thing you are going to taste for the first 4 sips is the rim. It ruins your palate for anything else especially if you are eating while enjoying this terrific cocktail.

Make it Rain Margarita2 oz. Jose Cuervo traditional ¾ oz. Grand Marnier2 oz. Fresh lime juice1 oz. fresh squeezed Orange juice½ oz. Lemon juice½ oz. agave syrup or honeyPour all ingredients into a shaker half full of ice. Shake until well mixed and pour over ice into a glass. Shaking fresh fruit juice with any spirit produces a chemical reaction that makes the flavour of the cocktail exponentially more flavourful and provides amazing texture to the beverage.

Shake lemonade, orange and JD honey together in a shaker half full of ice. Pour into a glass and top with ginger beer. Make sure to shake the Cara Cara with the alcohol to make a chemical reaction occur in the shaker and to add some great texture to the drink. Cara Cara oranges have a grapefruit and tangerine quality to the flavour which gives this drink an amazing flavour and nose.
